OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
No matter where you put your new spa, it’s important that it has a solid
foundation to support it. In fact, structural damage to the spa, resulting
from incorrect installation, or placement on an inadequate foundation, is
not covered under the spa’s limited warranty.
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad
at least ten centimeters (four inches) thick. The reinforcing rod or mesh
in the pad should be attached to a 6 mm² bonding wire per national
electrical codes (contact your local electrical code
compliance inspector
for more information; inspection for proper grounding may be required
before pouring concrete to form the slab).
If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place stepping
stones under the leveling areas (see Spa Leveling Instructions). The
stones should be at least 5 cm (2") thick and 30 cm (12") square. Even
with stones in place, the spa will inevitably settle and become unlevel.
Plus, a spa surrounded by dirt or grass will soon be filled with dirt or
grass from users’ feet. So get it onto a solid foundation as soon as
possible.
DECK INSTALLATION
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s
maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor or structural
engineer. To find the weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer
to the Spa Specification chart. This weight per square meter must not
exceed the structure’s rated capacity, or serious structural damage could
result.
CAUTION: WATKINS WELLNESS suggests a structural engineer or
contractor be consulted before the spa is placed on an elevated deck.
INDOOR/BASEMENT INSTALLATION
Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors.
Water will accumulate around the spa, so flooring materials must
provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent
a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the
spa it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will
naturally increase with the spa installed. Water may get into woodwork
and produce dry rot, mildew, or other problems. Check for airborne
moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To
minimize these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the
spa area. An architect can help to determine if more ventilation must be
installed.
CALDERA spas are equipped with a vent to remove excessive heat
from the equipment compartment. Find this vent (its under the bottom
front left or right corner) and be sure the vent is not blocked by anything,
including carpeting.
Your CALDERA dealer can help you with local information such as
zoning regulations and building codes. They can also give you a copy of
our planning guide.
CAUTION: Do not install the spa on a heated floor.
WARNING: Please keep the area around your spa well ventilated
when it is installed indoors or in a confined area. Inadequate
ventilation around the spa could cause a build-up of a higher-than-
normal concentration of spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments.
These dispersed spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments can be
inhaled, and may result in breathing difficulties or lung damage in
certain people suffering from a compromised immune system or
respiratory infection. If you or other bathers are affected by this
condition, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
DELIVERY ACCESS
NOTE: It may be necessary to allow for additional over-head clearance if
the spa will be rolled up or down an incline or moved up or down a short
flight of stairs.
Use the information in the chart below to determine the requirements for
access to your desired location. It may be necessary to remove a gate,
part of a fence, or other movable obstructions in order to roll the spa to its
installation site. About ten percent of the time, a crane is the only way to
install the spa by lifting it to its final destination.
If the spa has to be taken off of the cart to go over a wall (either because
the entry area is too narrow, the eaves are too low, the corner is too tight,
or the stairway is too steep), a crane will be required. Don’t be alarmed!
The crane has a truck-mounted
boom which can fit right in your
driveway. It is run by a licensed
and insured operator. For a
charge, the crane operator will lift
your spa over walls, buildings, or
any other obstruction and place
it as close to the installation site
as possible. The CALDERA
spa delivery personnel will
supervise the crane delivery and
complete the spa installation.
Crane delivery typically takes
an average of 30 minutes to
complete.
NOTE: If your spa delivery requires the use of a crane, you may be
required to pay for its services at the completion of the delivery.
